SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – The UC Santa Barbara women's tennis team remained unbeaten in Big West play on Saturday with a 6-1 win over visiting University of the Pacific.

The Gauchos (3-7 overall, 2-0 in the Big West) won a hard fought doubles point, despite losing at the No. 1 slot. At No. 2, freshman April Scatliffe teamed with Natalia Lozano for an 8-5 win over the Tigers' Summer Irvin and Gergana Boncheva, clinching the point. Playing No. 3, Erica Cano and Sofia Novak topped Susan Te and Regina Suarez, 8-6.

In singles, Cano stepped in for Jordan Dockendorf who was forced to the sidelines because she was too ill to continue after her No. 1 doubles match. Cano won her match at No. 6 in a 6-1, 6-3 sweep over Regina Suarez. The Gauchos also won at No. 1, No. 3, No. 4 and No. 5.
